TO MIKE NEGUS and others.

If it was separate and additional, what did it consist of, and why was the code only on '82 through '86 tags?

I have seen tags from several '85 and '86 McLarens that do not have NLR.

I have yet to see a tag from an '82-'86 SSP or an '84-'86 SVO with NLR.

Like fox said above....

My 85 doesn't have a NLR. And back to the original question that we are trying to find out - What is the difference between Mike's Car and mine (for example) ?

Mine had factory exhaust also.

Link?

It does appear that NLR is a very common engineering term in mechanical engineering circles.

Sounds like we have something here. I wonder what it is exactly.

Sandy, do you know what ST means? It is on cars from 79+.

Not a clue on ST

ST - Steel bumpers

DF - Blackout/painted door frames

Really ??

I can tell you that from the tags I have data from, 'ST" is not "steel bumpers" and 'DF' is not "black" or "painted" door frames.

I hate it when I get bad info. Even more so when it seems to be supported with the specifics of my own vehicles. Grrr

If your info came from the internet...we already looked there

OK, so I didn't keep myself current on the buck tag threads at FEP before posting those code explanations - sorry, my bad.

BUT, how about these:

ST = Power Steering
DF = Disc Front (as in Power Front Disc brakes)

FoxChassis - how does this fit will all the data you've been collecting on FEP??

Nope, not those either.

"ST" is also not "Sport Tuned" exhaust.

Post by **negusm** » Wed Mar 17, 2010 3:10 am

Could one of those be for a quick ratio rack?
